The Republic of Gastelle is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Benjitsu II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its fear of technology, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.151 billion Gastelleans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gastelle City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.4%.

The large but inefficient Gastellean economy, worth 653 trillion Cons a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 53,759 Cons, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Government debts are financed through alchemy, thieves are flogged in public for their crimes, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, and the government considers the rising number of McRonald's fast food restaurants to be great progress. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Gastelle's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Freida.

Gastelle is ranked 196,044th in the world and 4,911th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 52.7063551568 days.
